LOUOLAS' LETTER OP ACCEPTABLE. - Washikotojt, Jane 27th, 1860. To the National Democratic Convention: Gentlkmes: -In accordance with the verbal assurance which I gave jou when yoa placed in nay hands the authentic evidence of mj nomina tion for the Presidency by the National Conven tion of the Democratic party, I now send joo mj formal acceptance. Upon a careful exami nation of the platform, of principles adopted at Charleston, and reaffirmed at Baltimore, with ah additional resolution, which is in perfect bar mob j with the others, I find it to be a faithful embodiment of the time , honored principles of the Democratic part j, which were proclaimed and. understood by all parties in the Presidential contests of 1848, 1852 and 18.56. Upon looking into the proceedings ' of the Convention, also, I find that the nomination was made with great unanimity, in, the presence, and with the concurrence of more than two thirds of the whole number of delegates, and in exact concordance with the long established usages of the party My inflexible purpose not to bo a candidate nor accept the nomination nnder any contingency; except as the regular nominee of the National Democratic party,' and in that case only upon the condition that the usages as well as the principles of the party Bhonld be strictly adhered to, have been proclaimed for a long time, and become well known to the country. These con ditions having, all been complied with by the free and voluntary action of th Tlomnorttln masses and their faithful representatives, with out any agency, interference, or procurement on mJ parti I feel bound in honor and duty to ac cept the nomination. In taking this step, I am not unmindful of the responsibilities it imposes but with firm reliance upon Divine Providence. have faith' that the people will comprehend the true nature of the issues involved, and eventu- liy maintain the right. , The peace of the country, and the perpetuity of the Union have been put in jeorpardy by at tempts to interfere' with an to control the domestic affairs of the people in the territories, through the agency of the federal government. If the power and the duty of the federal interference s to be conceded,, two hostile sectional parties must be the inevitable result; the one inflaming the passions and ambition of the North, and the other of the South, and each, straggling to use the federal power and. stotMrity "r the axrgran- rdizetneiil of its own 8e"cUon. at the ex Dense of - -. -. . the equal rights of the other, and in derogation of those fundamental principles: the rrinciDlea of self-government; which were firmly establish ed in this country by the American revolution, as the basis of our entire Republican system. During the memorable period of our political history, when the advocates of federal intervention upon the subject of slavery in the territories, had well nigh precipiUted the country into revolution, the Northern interventionists demanding the Wilraot Proviso for the prohibition of slavery, and the Southern interventionists, then few in number and without a single representative in either House of Congress, insisting upon Congressional legislation for the protection of slavery, in opposition to the wishes of the people in either case, it will, be remembered that it re quired all the wisdom, power and influence of a Clay, and a Webster, and a Cass, supported by the conservative and patriotic men of the Whig aud Democratic parties of that day, to devise and carry out a line of policy which would restore peace to the country, and stability to the Union. ".. 'v-.-The essential living principle of that policy, as applied in the legislation oT 1850, was and now is non intervention by Congress with slavery in tbe territories. Tbe fair application of this just and equitable principle restored harmony and fraternity .- to a distracted country. If we now depart from that wise and just policy which produced these happy results, and permit the country to be again distraced; if precipitated into revolution by a sectional contest between pro-slavery and anti-slavery interventionists, where shall we look for another Clay another Webster or another Cass, to pilot the ship of State over the breakers into a heaven of peace and safety? The Federal Union must be preserved the Constitution must be maintained inviolate in all its parts, every right guaranteed by the Constitution must be protected by law in all cases where legislation is necessary to its enforcement. The judicial authority, as provided in the Constitution, must be sustained and its decisions implicit obeyed and faithfully executed. The laws must be administered, and the constituted authorities upheld, and all unlawful resistance to these things must all be met with firmness, impartiality and fidelity, if we expect to enjoy and transmit unimpaired to our posterity, that blessed inheritance which we have re ceived in trust from the patriots and sages of the revolution. With sincere thank for the kind and agreeable, manner in which you have made known to me the action of the Convention. I have the honor to be, V ef j respectfully, jour friend and fellow citizen. S. A. DOUGLAS. How Lincoln eave aid and comfort to .. the llexicans. . "Mustang," the celebrated Mexican correspon dent of the New Orleans Delia, writing shortly after the delivery of Lincoln's speech in Congress against the Mexican war, and referring to those who had made anti war and anti national speeches in Congress, said? . "If they had Mexican muskets on their boul ders, they could not assist (he Mexicans" as nach, do us as moch barm as' the v have done br their speeches. In the name of God will, the politician of our country never cease gambling for the presidency npon the blood ot our country"-men? Onr army dreads so danger; nor do they fear to dieia defence of their coantry, bat they do dislike to be sacrificed to the unholy ambi-tiom of aspiring politician! and political koare. Is there no way by which our friends at home can put a stop to the nn patriotic conduct of politicians who would sacrifice the whole army in order to give tone to the next presidential election? Tie army will defend and fight the battles of the coantry. Then let their friends at home . defend them from ; the injuries arising from such speeches as these, or the conduct of such men." . - - Lincoln's Influence. Sangamon county Illinois in which Old Abe lives, formerly gave 800 Whig msjority, while at the late election it elected'Democraticnembers of the Legislature by 400 majority. During the great Senatorial contest between Douglas and Old Abe, this country was thoroughly 'stumped' by these distinguished gentlemen; and, at the election, Douglas not only carried the county by a large majority, but also beat Lincoln in the ward, precinct and city, in which he lived and voted. The fact is Donglas,. will beat the " rail spltter" in Illinois so badly that his frends will have no courage to hold a coroner's inquest over the scatterd fragrants of his remains. Literary Notice . One of the most interesting and useful publi cations which COmes to onr aanrtnm lath "Scieutific";America" a weekly puplication, de voted to popular science, new invenutions and the whole range of mechanic and" manufacturing arts. The "Scientific American" has been published for fifteen years, by the, well-known Patent Solicitors, Messrs, Munn & Co., 37, Park Row, New York; and has yearly increased in interest and circulation, - until it has attained, we understand, nearly 30,000 subscribers, which is the best of evidence that the publication is ar- preciated by the reading public. To those of our readers who may not familiar with the character of the paper, we will state some of the subjects of which it treats. Its il lustrated descriptions of all the irost important improvements in steam and agricultural ma chinery, will commend it to the Engineer and Farmer, while the new household inventions and shop tools which are illustrated by engravings and described in its columns, with the practical eceipts contained in every number, renders the work desirable to housekeepers, and almost in dispensable to every mechanic or smith who has a shop for manufacturing new work, or repairing old. '.- ' . ' ' The "Scientific American" is universally re garded as the Inventor's advocate and monitor: the repository of American inventions and the great authority, on the great authority on law, and all boalfleiB cfln Reeled witn "!PatehtfrThe OfSoial List of claims, as issued weekly from the Patent Office, in Washington, are published regularly in its col umns. All the most impor tant Patents issued by the United States Patent Office are illustrated and described on its pages, thus forming an unrivalled history of American inventions. It is not only the best, but the largest ar.d cheapest paper devoted to Science, Mechanics, Manufacturers, and the Useful Arts published in the world. Hon. Judge Mason, formerly Commissioner of Patents, is not only engaged with the publishers in their immense Patent Agency department, but as a writer on Patent Laws and Practice, his ability is forcibly portrayed in the columns of this paper. The "Scientific American" is published once a week, (every Saturday,) each number con-taining 16 pages of Letterpress, and from 10 to 12 original engravings of New Inventions, consisting pf the most improved Tools Engines, Mills, Agricultural Machines and ..Household Utensils, making 52 numbers in a year, com. prising 832 pages, and over 500 original engrav ings, printed on heavy, fine paper, in a form expressly fo binding, and all for two dollars per annum. A New Volume commences on the 1st of July and we hope a large number of our townsmen will avail themselves of the present opportunity to subscribe. By remittrng $2 by mail to the publishers, Munn & Co., 37 Park Row,'ITew York, they will send you their paper one year, at tbe end of which time you will have a volume which you would not part with for treble it cost. The publishers express their willing to mail a single copy of the paper to such as may wish to see it without charge. General Jessnp. General Jessnp, of the United States Army, who recently deceased, was born in Virginia in 1788, and was therefore seventy-two years old at the time of his death, lie entered the army in 1808 as a Second Lieutenant. He was a Lieutenant Colonel under Scott and Brown in the. severe battles on (he Cafrada frontier in 1814.- He was severely wounded' at the Battle of Lun-dy's Lane. In 1828 he Jwas made Major General. He commanded in the Florida War against the fnxfians in 1836, and was wounded in a battle with them. He was succeeded by General Taylor in 1838, and has since been in charge of bis department as quartermaster General in Washington.

LOUOLAS' LETTER OP ACCEPTABLE. - Washikotojt, Jane 27th, 1860. To the National Democratic Convention: Gentlkmes: -In accordance with the verbal assurance which I gave jou when yoa placed in nay hands the authentic evidence of mj nomina tion for the Presidency by the National Conven tion of the Democratic party, I now send joo mj formal acceptance. Upon a careful exami nation of the platform, of principles adopted at Charleston, and reaffirmed at Baltimore, with ah additional resolution, which is in perfect bar mob j with the others, I find it to be a faithful embodiment of the time , honored principles of the Democratic part j, which were proclaimed and. understood by all parties in the Presidential contests of 1848, 1852 and 18.56. Upon looking into the proceedings ' of the Convention, also, I find that the nomination was made with great unanimity, in, the presence, and with the concurrence of more than two thirds of the whole number of delegates, and in exact concordance with the long established usages of the party My inflexible purpose not to bo a candidate nor accept the nomination nnder any contingency; except as the regular nominee of the National Democratic party,' and in that case only upon the condition that the usages as well as the principles of the party Bhonld be strictly adhered to, have been proclaimed for a long time, and become well known to the country. These con ditions having, all been complied with by the free and voluntary action of th Tlomnorttln masses and their faithful representatives, with out any agency, interference, or procurement on mJ parti I feel bound in honor and duty to ac cept the nomination. In taking this step, I am not unmindful of the responsibilities it imposes but with firm reliance upon Divine Providence. have faith' that the people will comprehend the true nature of the issues involved, and eventu- liy maintain the right. , The peace of the country, and the perpetuity of the Union have been put in jeorpardy by at tempts to interfere' with an to control the domestic affairs of the people in the territories, through the agency of the federal government. If the power and the duty of the federal interference s to be conceded,, two hostile sectional parties must be the inevitable result; the one inflaming the passions and ambition of the North, and the other of the South, and each, straggling to use the federal power and. stotMrity "r the axrgran- rdizetneiil of its own 8e"cUon. at the ex Dense of - -. -. . the equal rights of the other, and in derogation of those fundamental principles: the rrinciDlea of self-government; which were firmly establish ed in this country by the American revolution, as the basis of our entire Republican system. During the memorable period of our political history, when the advocates of federal intervention upon the subject of slavery in the territories, had well nigh precipiUted the country into revolution, the Northern interventionists demanding the Wilraot Proviso for the prohibition of slavery, and the Southern interventionists, then few in number and without a single representative in either House of Congress, insisting upon Congressional legislation for the protection of slavery, in opposition to the wishes of the people in either case, it will, be remembered that it re quired all the wisdom, power and influence of a Clay, and a Webster, and a Cass, supported by the conservative and patriotic men of the Whig aud Democratic parties of that day, to devise and carry out a line of policy which would restore peace to the country, and stability to the Union. ".. 'v-.-The essential living principle of that policy, as applied in the legislation oT 1850, was and now is non intervention by Congress with slavery in tbe territories. Tbe fair application of this just and equitable principle restored harmony and fraternity .- to a distracted country. If we now depart from that wise and just policy which produced these happy results, and permit the country to be again distraced; if precipitated into revolution by a sectional contest between pro-slavery and anti-slavery interventionists, where shall we look for another Clay another Webster or another Cass, to pilot the ship of State over the breakers into a heaven of peace and safety? The Federal Union must be preserved the Constitution must be maintained inviolate in all its parts, every right guaranteed by the Constitution must be protected by law in all cases where legislation is necessary to its enforcement. The judicial authority, as provided in the Constitution, must be sustained and its decisions implicit obeyed and faithfully executed. The laws must be administered, and the constituted authorities upheld, and all unlawful resistance to these things must all be met with firmness, impartiality and fidelity, if we expect to enjoy and transmit unimpaired to our posterity, that blessed inheritance which we have re ceived in trust from the patriots and sages of the revolution. With sincere thank for the kind and agreeable, manner in which you have made known to me the action of the Convention. I have the honor to be, V ef j respectfully, jour friend and fellow citizen. S. A. DOUGLAS. How Lincoln eave aid and comfort to .. the llexicans. . "Mustang," the celebrated Mexican correspon dent of the New Orleans Delia, writing shortly after the delivery of Lincoln's speech in Congress against the Mexican war, and referring to those who had made anti war and anti national speeches in Congress, said? . "If they had Mexican muskets on their boul ders, they could not assist (he Mexicans" as nach, do us as moch barm as' the v have done br their speeches. In the name of God will, the politician of our country never cease gambling for the presidency npon the blood ot our country"-men? Onr army dreads so danger; nor do they fear to dieia defence of their coantry, bat they do dislike to be sacrificed to the unholy ambi-tiom of aspiring politician! and political koare. Is there no way by which our friends at home can put a stop to the nn patriotic conduct of politicians who would sacrifice the whole army in order to give tone to the next presidential election? Tie army will defend and fight the battles of the coantry. Then let their friends at home . defend them from ; the injuries arising from such speeches as these, or the conduct of such men." . - - Lincoln's Influence. Sangamon county Illinois in which Old Abe lives, formerly gave 800 Whig msjority, while at the late election it elected'Democraticnembers of the Legislature by 400 majority. During the great Senatorial contest between Douglas and Old Abe, this country was thoroughly 'stumped' by these distinguished gentlemen; and, at the election, Douglas not only carried the county by a large majority, but also beat Lincoln in the ward, precinct and city, in which he lived and voted. The fact is Donglas,. will beat the " rail spltter" in Illinois so badly that his frends will have no courage to hold a coroner's inquest over the scatterd fragrants of his remains. Literary Notice .
